"For those like me, who have only been able to read Rilke in translation, what a gift Edward Snow has been over the yearsHis lucid, sharp and musical versions are a joy to read and reread, and constantly seem to propose the idea that these poems are as close to Rilke's astonishing originals as English readers are likely to get. " -- PJ Harvey
